C-x b 3. `e e' on an item See the following: todo-edit-multiline-item: Buffer name `*Todo Edit*' is in use [4 times] I would expect that it switch to the buffer instead. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an error that occurs frequently and has made my todo file practically unusable. Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) expand-file-name(nil) find-file-noselect(nil nowarn) todo-mode-external-set() todo-edit-mode() todo-edit-multiline-item() call-interactively(todo-edit-multiline-item nil nil) command-execute(todo-edit-multiline-item) Once such a thing happens the todo file which was good to begin with gets screwed and I really can do nothing more with it. My STRONG RECOMMENDATION To the users: - Beware of todo-mode to create real life todo entries. It will make you pay for it. To the maintainer: - PLEASE! Compute the sexp for categories on demand. Do you really think that pre-computation is very much necessary speed up things on large todo lists.
